The five-day regional workshop, organised by Culture Resource (Al-Mawred Al-Thaqafy), for the “Cultural Alliances” component of the All-Around Culture programme concluded on Sunday, 9 October, in Beirut.
Representatives from 11 alliances, each composed of 3 cultural entities from 7 Arabic-speaking countries, including Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, and Palestine, attended the workshop. The meeting’s goal was to network the alliances at the regional level and engage them in dialogue on topics related to how to improve cooperation within an alliance by deepening each entity’s understanding of the ecosystem in which it operates and identifying its role within the alliance.
The alliances had the opportunity to reflect on what they accomplished in the foregoing year and revisit their plan of activities for next year to ensure the activities they implement contribute to strengthening the cultural ecosystem and facilitating access to culture.
